Assuming that the atom has no charge, the atom will have seven electrons. If the atom is positive, you subtract the charge from the atomic number to find the number of electrons. If the atom is negative, you add the charge to the atomic number to find the number of electrons.
You draw the 7 protons (atomic number is 7 so it has 7 protons), and 7 neutrons (the atomic weight minus the atomic number(14-7=7) so 7 neutrons). You now draw two circles around the protons and neutrons, these are called electron shells. Since nitrogen has 7 electrons you draw 2 in the first ring (the maximum for the first layer), and 5 in the second layer. For example if you had Calcium (atomic number 20), then the electron shells will hold 2 electrons, 8 electrons, 8 electrons, and then 2 electrons. It gets a bit more difficult after 20.
Dinitrogen tetroxide has 2 nitrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms. Nitrogen has 7 protons and oxygen has 8 protons. So this compound has 38 protons.Oxygen atoms have eight protons each. Nitrogen atoms have seven protons each. So, the given compound has 7x2 + 8x4 = 46 protons.
14 A proton has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU. A neutron also has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU. For most purposes, the atomic mass of an electron is considered to be negligible. Without knowing the number of protons this atom contains, one cannot calculate the atomic mass of the atom.
The third energy level contains one s orbital and three p orbitals.
The Nitrogen Atom possesses seven protons in its nucleus; therefore the electrically neutral atom of Nitrogen has seven electrons in orbit about it.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
7 protons 7 electrons 8 neutrons
because the atom is a nitrogen one....not all atoms have seven protons in their nucleus
There are seven protons within the nucleus of a Nitrogen atom. Also, just so you know, the number of protons stays the same no matter what the positivity or negativity of the atom. It is the number of electrons that defines this.

Nuetral nitrogen atoms have 7 protons and 7 electrons.
Elements are determined by their number of protons. Nitrogen has 7 protons but usually 7 neutrons as well. What you have here is a nitrogen isotope, an element with more or less neutrons than there are protons. Specifically, this is Nitrogen-15.
Assuming that the atom has no charge, the atom will have seven electrons. If the atom is positive, you subtract the charge from the atomic number to find the number of electrons. If the atom is negative, you add the charge to the atomic number to find the number of electrons.
Nitrogen is made up of seven protons and seven electrons (I'm not 100% sure about the electrons part), and the number of neutrons varies depending on the isotope. (N21 has 14 neutrons, N8 has one neutron)
Nitrogen has 7 protons.
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
